Frequently Asked Questions
The Slim Taper C is a relatively modern profile, thinner than a vintage '50s neck, but not as extreme as some super-thin shred necks – think Ibanez or Jackson.
The Jinho J-03 tuners are surprisingly good for the price point; they hold tuning well, but might benefit from a professional setup for ultimate stability.
It's a bit heavier than average due to the Nyatoh body and hardware; a strap is essential, and players with smaller frames might find it tiring after a long session.
